Roman School

A beautifully executed Roman School portrait dating from the late 19th to early 20th Century, depicting a handsome young boy wearing an elegant black hat adorned with feathers.

Painted with exceptional delicacy, the artist has captured the sitter’s youthful features, expressive gaze and refined costume with remarkable sensitivity. The rich colour palette, subtle modelling of the face and finely rendered textures demonstrate the influence of the Italian Academic tradition.

The painting bears an indistinct signature to the lower right and is presented in an attractive carved gilt frame, complementing its timeless elegance.

An excellent example of Italian portraiture, ideal for collectors of European fine art, antique portraits and decorative interiors.
